Bee Behind Bars

Need a little jolt of energy before the weekend? One thing I urge you to do today (and every day) is to stick with whatever it is you love when it comes to your personal style, regardless of what the world says about it.

What do I mean?

Don’t be afraid to like what you like.

Me? I like pink. I’ve heard complaints about “too much pink” for the last 13 years that I’ve been a motorcyclist. People, both men and women, put me down for my choice to use pink on my gear, my bike, my clothing and even in my branding. I’ve been told that it’s juvenile, and makes me seem immature. I’ve been told I won’t be taken seriously until I purge the pink.

Guess what? I still like pink. I wear pink sparkly shoes. I paint my nails neon pink. I even edited my photo so the red paint on the wall behind me becomes pink, because I think it looks rad and I like it that way.

I’m the boss of my own style, and I own it like a true Queen Bee.

You can, too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So paint your bike and dye your hair and wear whatever color you want, even if everyone else says “ew.”

Stand your ground. Resilience looks great on you!
